In all these areas, Hospital da Arrábida obtained the maximum rating of three stars.

The results of this evaluation, concerning 2014, were known this week, but do not determine hospital ranking, as the health units decided which areas to submit to SINAS evaluation. SINAS is a system of evaluation of healthcare establishments’ global quality, developed by ERS – Health Regulation Authority, based on three fundamental criteria: accuracy, transparence and objectivity. The Health Regulation Authority argues that this evaluation system «strives for scientific and technical accuracy, objectivity and fairness, motivation and involvement of caregivers, transparence and intelligibility, concerning the establishments evaluated and the public in general, particularly patients».
